Australian Lawmakers Advance New Bill to Regulate Crypto Platforms
An Australian Senate committee has recommended passing a new bill aimed at regulating cryptocurrency platforms under the country’s financial services framework. The proposed legislation would introduce licensing and compliance requirements for exchanges and custody providers handling digital assets. If approved by Parliament, the bill could bring the crypto sector under oversight similar to traditional financial institutions.
